"To my son, Abraham & to my Daughter Susannah jointly I give the Tract of Land on which I now live, and if my said Daughter Susannah should marry or die before my son Abraham, then the entire tract to become the sole property of my son Abraham and his heirs forever, my said son Abraham to see my said Daughter Susannah supported and maintained during her life.........I also give to my said wife Lucy another negro boy named Dick, during her life, and after her death, I give the said negro Dick to my son Abraham. To my Daughter Susannah I also give my negro boys, Peter and Andrew, and my negro girl named Phebe, and the future increase of the said Phebe, during the life of my said Daughter Susannah, and after her death I give the said negro boys Peter and Andrew, and the said negro girl Phebe and her future increase to my son Abraham. I likewise give all my stock and perishable property to my wife Lucy and my son Abraham and my Daughter Susannah for their support.
I appoint my son Abraham Prillaman, sole Executor of this my last Will and Testament. In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this nineteenth day of October in the year of Christ 1838."
